    A great affordable controller. Very basic, they don't have motion controls, but they work well and feel responsive. Joysticks are smooth, the buttons are a little stiff but function fine. Also, I love how these controllers look! Very nice if you like to collect controllers.

    Great controller for the price. It's really not bad quality as well. It has lasted me longer than some more expensive controllers. This is with a 4 year old also dropping it here and there. If you don't mind the wire then I highly recommend it.

    Great controller especially the colors and the little pikachu on it. If your a pokemon fan and need a controller for the switch this is a must buy. One thing is the controller is very light so it doesn’t feel like a Xbox or PlayStation controller but still good.

    It's not the most robust controller - not like the standard switch Left & Right joycons. It feels light and a little flimsy, but my son loves it cause it has Kirby on it. Really wish they produced a Kirby themed wireless controller.

    Got this for my little brother for Christmas. It is extremely light and the build quality is not the best. However for having extra controllers for friends when they come over is always a good thing. Definitely can’t beat the price for these controllers!!!

    Works great given the budget price. Contains all of the necessary features a Nintendo Switch controller needs while omitting some of the additional components that make Joy-Cons so expensive. The Mario theme is colorful.

    Meh. It's a 15 dollar controller. Really light but fairly sturdy, the buttons feel meh, no vibration. one good thing for me is the cable port is really well designed and won't cause your cord to bend at the port.

    It’s a great control and perfect for the price especially if you don’t want to worry about it dying on ya while playing a game..however the cord can get annoying..but it’s very long unlike how the my use to be back when I was a kid on my OG Nintendo.

    You get what you pay for literally for this controller. Very light compared to the other wired controllers out there. It’s still useful so no complaints there. A must buy for people who are out to look for cheap controllers that gets the job done.

    The responsiveness of the controller is great, although it is very light-weight on the hands y has a solid feel. At first the buttons feels funny, like they won't last long but after several hours of use they are feeling better. Great product for the price and my kids love the design, they a very into Mario!

    Great control for little hands. I bought this for my 5yo because he had issues holding the joycons. He loves Pikachu so this was an added bonus, and he enjoys having his own controller.

    For the value it is worth getting if you don’t want to spend an extra amount for a pro controller, and never buy a wireless power a controller just get a pro controller. But this controller is amazing for the price, must buy if you play with others!

    Controller makes it easier to play some Switch games on the TV. It feels comfortable compared to the Switch detachable controllers. I like that there are two additional buttons that you can program to your preference. The only con is that there is no rumble feature.

    Great controller, decent buttons and joysticks for the price, as well as detachable cable. It's really lightweight and feels a bit cheap compared to most first party controllers that have batteries inside them

    Great alternative when playing on the tv mode. Instead of using the joy cons I use this. Saving the joy cons for those games that I’m required to use them or when I play with others! Great buy! Save money too! Joy cons are so expensive!

    My daughter loves playing her switch, but also likes to play against someone. When she plays the switch on the TV, she prefers to use this controller, leaving the joycons to her brother.

    It's kind of cheap quality but for the price, it makes sense. Still works great and havent had any issues with it. Price is good if you dont want little kids breaking your higher quality, expensive controllers. Probably will buy again.

    Good controller. Very very lightweight but feels good in the hands. The extra buttons on the bottom are a little annoying because I keep accidentally clicking them but they’re not programmed so it’s okay.

    Our son is still using it after one year. We have experienced no issues with the remote and it works as it should. The cord is pulling out of the controller now, but we think our son pulls on it way too often. No regrets picking up this controller.
